IHM Marching Band

Immaculate Heart of Mary School

Marching Band




Putting Memories To Music

Immaculate Heart of Mary Band, directed by Br. Peter Mary, MICM, and Br. Anthony Marie, MICM, has been performing for 20 years. Students in grades 7–12 are eligible for the marching band and are urged to join the band in 7th grade and continue through to 12th grade. The Band marches in about a dozen parades in local cities and towns during the school year. Dedicating all their works to Our Blessed Mother, and with increased musical knowledge and an emphasis on discipline in marching and performance, the band experience is an excellent "physical re-enforcement" of the virtues and academic practices of the regular IHM shcool day. Hard work pays off!

May all band members, past…present…and future, continue to proudly bring Our Lady into the world of today by their good actions!

Music With A Mission.

This prayer is said by the band members before every practice, performance and parade…

O Queen and commander of thy servant who humbly stands before thee, I give to thee all my works. Take and cleanse them and present them to my Sovereign Lord. I beg thee in turn to grant me holy desires.

Thine I am and thine I wish to be. Therefore may my performances show Christ's strength in me in order to bring joy to thy Immaculate Heart, encouragement to the faithful, and good example for all who see me. I long to be an imitation of Him, the Light of the World, for the glory of God and the salvation of souls. Amen.
